At around 7pm on Jan 26, 2021, the Hong Kong government enforced a sudden lockdown at No. 9 - 27 Pitt Street and No. 3 Tung On Street in Yau Ma Tei. Police officers cordoned off the block, as medical personnel set up testing counters.
The authorities demanded residents to stay in their homes except when taking the tests for #coronavirus.
